The reason they've chosen to shop there is simple, it's one of the longest running independent music shops 'run by musicians for musicians'. That means there's a top notch selection of guitars, bass, drums, keyboards, synthesisers, drum machines and percussion from leading brands. Beginners can pick up special guitar packages (including unbranded Telecasters and Marshall amps for a bargain £159) whilst there's a great secondhand section including Rickenbackers, Fender Stratocasters and Gibson Les Pauls for seasoned musos. Helpfully, Curly also sell spares and mend instruments on site. The thing that's most endearing however, is the staff's obvious love of all things musical. If you don't play an instrument yet, they'll make you leave wanting to!

This is an excellent specialist store. A great place for anyone whose children are starting to play an instrument.

He is loving playing piano now and actually loves to practice, and he has grown in confidence...I raised issues with Jess in a text when I told her the lessons were not working out and gave her my reasons...I never heard back from her......I have since found out from our son, Jess would spend time during their lessons texting on her phone or making him do theory at a desk, instead of playing piano. Shocking and disappointing.
